Rowing race at Newbridge 28th Feb 26 (backup date 7th March)

Hi all. I’ve just received the following message regarding planned rowing races at Newbridge.

 

Avon County Rowing Club is organising a rowing race on Saturday 28 February. This will be an all day event between Twerton Lock and Saltford, starting at 0900 and the last division will start at about 1600. All categories of boats from singles to eights will be racing, and crews will range from very experienced rowers to complete beginners. There will also be safety launches (RIBs) and other launches carrying umpires and monitors.

 

And in view of the frequent changes in the river level we have experienced in the last 12 months, we have planned a ‘fall back’ date of Saturday 7 March should the river prove too high for the race on 28 February.
